Police forces across Wales are issuing Halloween appeals on what is traditionally one of their busiest nights. South Wales Police says it will be putting on extra patrols and reassurance visits to reduce the number of anti social behaviour incidents.

Operation Be A Nice Guy (BANG) will see officers reassuring the communities that everything possible is being done to ensure that the tricks and excitement of both events do not turn into anything more disturbing. Police officers will be actively patrolling the Cardiff Bus network.

Inspector Andy Smith said, "Residents can be rest assured that we will not tolerate those who use Halloween and Bonfire night as an excuse to indulge in criminal or reckless behaviour, and there will be a very visible police presence on the streets of Cardiff."
